Former state university employee John Bradley, who retired in June 2018, saved $81,035 toward a pension over 27 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Bradley would collect as much as $1.71 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Bradley received $35,925 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Bradley will have already received $111,041 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
